Dell Valley -On Saturday, August 21, some 22 helicopters
landed in Dell Valley on the McConnell airstrip. They had
come from Ft. Hood, Texas, on their way to Davis Montham Air
Force Base in Arizona. Dell City was a critical point as the ma-
chines had to be refueled about every one and one-half hours.
This parallels past history when tire Butterfield Stage Line had
this valley as a critical watering place between Pine Springs
and the Rio Grande River. There were 47 men involved in the
flight to take the Korean model helicopters to be stored in Ari-
zona. They had made a refueling stop just previously in Carlsbad.
Though no one knows for
sure when and where man first
grew sorghums, records show
they were cultivated in Africa,
China and India — 4,000 years

Dell Valley....All residents of
Hudspeth County may obtain
answers to questions on opera-
tion and interpretation of the
Presidential order of August 15
on prices, rents, wages and sal-
aries from the Hudspeth County
Agricultural Stabilization and
Conservation Service (ASCS)
Office, according to Mr. V. C.
Snodgrass, Chairman of the
County ASC Committee.
County ASCS offices through
out the United States have been
chosen as information centers
to answer questions from all
citizens on President Nixon's
Executive Order which is desi-
gned to stem inflation and st-
rengthen the national economy.
The Hudspeth County ASCS
Office is receiving official an-
swers to questions concerning
the Presidents action and any
person in Hudspeth County who
wants or needs precise informa-
tion should get 'in touch with
the County Office, Mr. Snod-
grass said.
The Hudspeth County ASCS
Office is located at Sierra Bl-
anca. The mailing address is
Box 189. The telephone num-
ber is 369-2601- In charge of
the office is Oscar E Booth,
County Executive Director.
The office has a staff consisting
of Oscar E Booth, D. W. Carson,
and Marguerite McReynolds.
"Ours and all ASCS offices
throughout the nation, will fun-
ction as information centers
in all locations outside of high-
ly urbanized areas," Mr. Snod-
grass said.
County ASCS offices are not
to handle complaints or appeals
he said. They will serve only
to provide official information.
Persons with complaints will
register them with the most con
convenient district or sub-dis-
trict office of the Internal Rev-
enue Service.
" Neither will interpretations
or guesses be made by ASCS
county office people. They will
answer only those questions for
which they have been supplied
answers. If they do not know
the answer to a specific ques-
tion, they will say so. If a mem-
ber of the public wants the
county office to obtain an
answer, the question will go
by phone or mail to the near-
est IRS district office," Mr.
Snodgrass said.
Normal function of ASCS
county offices is to administer
farm action programs of the
U.S. Department of Agricul-
ture on the local level. County
committee Chairman Mr. Snod-
grass said ASCS service to far-
mers will continue without in-
terruption.
"Our office people welcome
the opportunity to serve their
county and are happy to make
the extra effort m this crucial
period," he said.
22 HELICOPTERS LAND IN VALLEY

Dell Valley - Mr. Donald Dayton, Superintendent of Guada-
lupe and Carlsbad National Parks, and Mr. John Chapman,
Chief of Operations, were guests at the regular meeting of the
Dell Valley Chamber of Commerce August 19. Mr. Dayton
brought up to date the activities and plans of the park.
He stated that formal establishment of the park will take place
soon - the end of this year or the first of next year. The Master
Plan is almost ready now and Mr. Dayton should have it in hand
by September 18.
The superintendent stated that he would be glad to come back
to Dell City and discuss the Master Plan proposal with the Cham-
ber of Commerce. He was assured by Chamber President^ Frank
Brownfield, that the Chamber would like very much to have he
and Mr. Chapman return and go over the Master Plan. A tenta-
tive hearing is planned on the Park in the near future. Mr. Day-
ton stated that any proposals Dell City may have regarding the
Park or roads to the Park will be taken into consideration. A
road is proposed for the west side of the park in the low country'
running parallel with the escarpment. Hearing will give Dell Ci-
ty people an opportunity to say how and what they would like re-
garding such road. Also proposed for the west side are hiking
trails and horseback trails. There is a proposal for a tramway
east of Fine Springs. Such a tramway is something new for a Na-
tional Park, as no other National Park has one. On the east side
in the McKittrick Canyon area, roads and foot travel access will
be made. On the north side in the Dog Canyon area, a Ranger
station will look into the park from the north - there will be al-
so horseback and foot trails.
Mr. Dayton said the road from Dell City could possibly be
improved depending on visitor use from Dell City through El Pa-
so Gap.
When the Master Park plan is out next month, Mr. Dayton
would like to go over the plans with Dell City and stated he
would like to work with Dell City very closely because of the
interest shown by Dell City and its Chamber of Commerce.
At the present time, approximately 4, 000 visitors per month
go into the Park. Some camping approximately 7/10 mile into
the canyon. There will be no motel facilities in the park; the
bulk of the facilities and overnight camping will be outside the
park area.
